Eighth Circuit: No Statutory Damages for Employer's Failure to Provide Notification of COBRA Entitlement
ERISA Lawyer Blog Link to more items from this source
Jan. 20, 2015

"The district court had reasoned that Cole was not entitled to actual damages because the amount of her unreimbursed medical bills from May 2012 was less than the COBRA premiums she would have had to pay to maintain medical insurance. The district court also reasoned that Cole was not entitled to statutory penalties because 'Trinity Health acted in good faith,' '[Cole was] not harmed or prejudiced by Trinity Health's tardy notice of ...COBRA rights,' and '[Cole was] provided continued medical coverage for approximately eleven months after [her] termination.' " [Cole v. Trinity Health Corp., No. 14-1408 (8th Cir. Dec. 15, 2014)]
